Live Backup

Enterprise Grade Protection on a Tight Budget

Live Backup technology captures data as it changes and forwards it immediately to the backup server’s Repository.   Live Backup benefits are immediate, tangible and can elevate your state of disaster readiness that is normally reserved for only very large companies.

The principle is simple:

• Data is transferred as it changes so you always have another copy of your data on another machine (the AIMstor Repository) up to the last second or minute,
• Also, because the data is always updated, you don’t have to schedule those massive backups that impact CPU, disk and bandwidth for everyone in your organization,
• You have effectively removed the backup window. Plus, because backups are snapshots inside the Repository, you can have increased recovery points.

Live Backup is applicable to many data protection solutions.  Below are a few examples of how our AIMstor Software uses Live Backup as its main component to solve data protection problems quickly, and provide enterprise type value in a hardware agnostic and easy to use software solution.

Live Backup Handles Different Needs

Businesses normally have a variety of different needs for data recovery, so they typically purchase products for different backup needs.  Emerging challenges such as compliance for HIPPA, Sarbanes Oxley, Bank Secrecy and other regulatory guidelines, together with virtualization and distributed organization architectures, have imposed an evolving set of needs that normal backup products simply cannot handle.

AIMstor however, was designed to solve a variety of backup problems through one unified product, enabling it to tackle all of the most common backup problems faced by small to medium enterprises.

Most are addressed by applying Live Backup to several types of business data.
